This castle is a must see. They offer tea time most days. I believe not on Tuesdays though. Some visitors enjoy dressing up as real castle royalty to enjoy their tea and brunch. Others come casual to dine . This is a favorite of mine. There really is nothing else comparable to this experience. It is about 15 minutes from the Bluebird. Reservations can be made online. Location details: enter the property and veer left follow the road and you will encounter a guard shack they will direct you to the castle.
